Motivation är en avgörande del för projekts framgång och därav har studiens syfte varit just detta. Syftet med studien har varit att studera motivation och på vilka sätt projektledare arbetar med att motivera sina teammedlemmar. Rapporten följer en klassisk struktur och börjar inledningsvis med att förklara begreppet motivation och går sedan vidare till en djupare förklaring av ämnet i teorikapitlet. Studien är kvalitativ med semistrukturerade intervjuer som insamlingsmetod för resultatet. Resultatet har sammanställts utifrån de teman som identifierats allteftersom intervjuerna har genomförts. Det första temat är Bygga katedralen, andra temat är Bollplanket och det tredje Dominospelet. Temana symboliserar projektledarens roll till motivation, individens roll, gruppens roll samt vad som motverkar motivation. Intervjusvaren mellan projektledarna gjorde att det gick att se tydliga mönster som dessa teman formats utifrån. Därefter har en diskussion sammanställts där teori och resultat jämförs med varandra. Den slutsats som går att dra inom arbetet är att projektledare är medvetna om den roll motivation har som verktyg för att driva projekt framåt och arbetar på olika sätt för att tillämpa det på bästa sätt. / Motivation is a crucial part of a project's success and therefore the purpose has been to study motivation as a subject.

Teaching in groups is the organizational form of teaching. Students are divided into several groups and they cooperate to solve certain task. Mutual help and involvement of passive and diffident student is a big advantage. This form of teaching has disadvantages and several problems too. Teacher should arrange and prepare everything carefully. Teacher's role is different in this type of teaching. When teacher is planning, he should realize what he wants to achieve, how large groups will be appropriate, how to divide students into groups etc. Classical arrangement of class for frontal teaching is inappropriate for teaching in groups. In this form of teaching students should see each other. All groups can do the same work or each group can do a different work. Student assessment is a problem in this way of teaching too. Some teachers can not cope with this. Teaching in groups may not be always cooperative.
